Camp Meeting #94 ‘Do It Together’
22-25 september 2022
Do It Together
Co-create, co-operate, co-own, co-direct, co-craft, co-exist
How do we create space for arts and culture? – By working together!
Welcome to a camp meeting with focus on collaboration in the past, present and future.
Let’s build a sauna, make a festival or create new projects together.
We are happy to welcome you to Not Quite in Fengersfors, Sverige!
Not Quite is an organisation for artists of different art forms. We are based in an old paper mill in the village of Fengersfors with 500 inhabitants, far out in the Swedish forests, 200 kilometres north of Gothenburg, and southeast from Oslo. Not Quite has workshops, studios, exhibition spaces and stages in a context far away from the city. With around 70 members we are building a collective place to be in, to work in, to visit and to experience. For ourselves and for others.
During 20 years of its existence, Not Quite has been exploring and finding methods for sustainable working in rural areas, as a small organisation, often with small funds and resources, but with a strong engaging community. Not Quite has just purchased an old carpentry building and in 2022 it is our ambition to develop new sustainable methods of working. Together we build for a resilient future, where the community (members of Not Quite ) will be able to continue to realise the Not Quite experiment. How this is going to happen we don’t quite know – yet. These are questions and challenges we will tackle together in our upcoming conference.
We are inviting you to join our event TEH Camp Meeting #94 on 22-25 September 2022 that we are co-organising with one of the biggest and oldest cultural networks in Europe – Trans Europe Halles (TEH). Trans Europe Halles has been at the forefront of repurposing abandoned buildings for arts and culture across Europe since 1983. They are now representing 140+ grass-roots cultural centres in 40 countries in Europe.
Together we will bring cultural workers from across Europe – pioneers and artivists who are working with their communities back in their home countries – to explore the topic of co-creation, community-engagement and sustainability, especially in the context of the rural.
